Think Globally. Act Locally.


Global Macro Team is The University of Texas at Austin’s premier student-led international affairs and economics think tank. Exploring the unknown is among the greatest human challenges, and in our view, the best way to learn about the world. At GMT, we research the leading issues of our time through an interdisciplinary lens. Through collaborative research, discussions, and analysis, we develop solutions to challenges that impact the world.

“Smart people are the ones who ask the most thoughtful questions, as opposed to thinking they have all the answers.”
